7.1.1 Requirements for the major and minor elemental
constituents are listed in Table 1. Also listed are important
residual elements. Analysis for elements not listed in Table 1 is
not required to verify compliance with this specification.
7.2 Product Analysis—
7.2.1 Product analysis tolerances do not broaden the speci-
fied heat analysis requirements but cover variations in the
measurement of chemical content between laboratories. The
product analysis tolerances shall conform to the product
tolerances in Table 2.
7.2.2 The product analysis is either for the purpose of
verifying the composition of a heat or manufacturing lot or to
determine variations in the composition within the heat.
7.2.3 Acceptance or rejection of a heat or manufacturing lot
of material may be made by the purchaser on the basis of this
product analysis. Product analyses outside the tolerance limits
allowed in Table 2 are cause for rejection of the product. A
referee analysis may be used if agreed upon by supplier and
purchaser.
7.2.4 For referee purposes, use Test Methods E2371,
E2626,E1409,E1447,E1941 or other analytical methods
agreed upon between the purchaser and supplier.
7.3 Samples for chemical analysis shall be representative of
the material being tested. The utmost care must be used in
sampling titanium for chemical analysis because of its affinity
for elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. In
cutting samples for analysis, therefore, the operation should be
carried out insofar as possible in a dust-free atmosphere.
Cutting tools should be clean and sharp. Samples for analysis
should be stored in suitable containers.
8. Mechanical Requirements
8.1 The material supplied under this specification shall
conform to the mechanical property requirements in Table 3,
Table 4 and Table 5. Grades may be ordered in the cold worked
condition to higher minimum tensile strength but a minimum
10 % elongation in 4Dor 2 in. (50 mm) must be met except for
wire. See footnotes in Table 5. Alternate properties may be
agreed upon between the purchaser and supplier.
8.2 Specimens for tension tests shall be prepared and tested
in accordance with Test Methods E8/E8M. Tensile properties
shall be determined using a strain rate of 0.003 to 0.007
in/in/min (mm/mm/min) through yield and then the crosshead
speed may be increased so as to produce fracture in approxi-
mately one additional minute. Tensile tests results for which
any specimen fractures outside the gage length shall be
considered valid, if both the elongation and reduction of area
meet the minimum requirements specified. Refer to sections
7.11.4 and 7.12.5 of Test Methods E8/E8M. If either the
elongation or reduction of area is less than the minimum
requirement, invalidate the specimen and retest. Retest one
specimen for each specimen that did not meet the minimum
requirements.
8.2.1 Bar, Forging Bar, Shapes, and Wire—Test according
to Test Methods E8/E8M. Should any test specimen not meet
the specified requirements, test two additional test pieces
representative of the same lot, in the same manner, for each
failed test specimen. The lot will be considered in compliance
only if all additional test pieces meet the specified requirements
8.2.2 Tension testing of wire shall be conducted in accor-
dance with Test Methods E8/E8M Tension testing shall be
conducted using the appropriate gauge length, shown in Table
5, for the size wire being tested. For wire sizes ≥0.0625 in.
(≥1.59 mm) (4Dgauge length) a strain rate of 0.003 to 0.007
in./in. (mm/mm)/min through the specified yield strength shall
be used and then the crosshead speed shall be increased so as
to produce fracture in approximately one additional minute.
For wire diameters less than 0.0625 in. (1.59 mm) a crosshead
speed of 0.5 to 1.0 in./min (12.7 to 25.4 mm/min) shall be used.
Once yielding has begun, the crosshead speed may be in-
creased to a maximum of 3.0 in./min (76.2 mm/min).
8.2.3 Sheet, Strip, and Plate—Test according to Test Meth-
ods E8/E8M. Tests in the transverse direction need be made
only on product from which a specimen not less than 8.0 in.
(200 mm) in length for sheet and 2.50 in. (64 mm) in length for
plate can be taken. Should any of these test specimens not meet
the specified requirements, test two additional test pieces
representative of the same lot, in the same manner, for each
failed test specimen. The lot will be considered in compliance
only if all additional test pieces meet the specified require-
ments.
8.3 For sheet and strip, perform at least one bend test
according to Test Methods E290 from each lot in both the
longitudinal and transverse directions. Tests in the transverse
direction need be made only on product from which a specimen
not less than 8.0 in. (200 mm) in length for sheet and 2.50 in.
(64 mm) in length for plate can be taken. The bend test
specimen shall withstand being bent cold through an angle of
105° without fracture on the outside of the bent portion. The
bend shall be made around a mandrel which has a diameter
equal to that shown in Table 4 for the applicable grade.
9. Units of Measure
9.1 Selection—This specification requires that the purchaser
selects the units (SI or inch-pound) to be used for product
certification. In the absence of a stated selection of units on the

These properties apply to forgings having a maximum cross section area not
greater than 3 in.

). Mechanical properties of forgings having greater
cross sections shall be negotiated between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
B
Elongation of material 0.063 in. (1.6 mm) or greater in diameter (D) or width (W)
shall be measured using a gauge length of 2 in. or 4Dor 4W. The gauge length
must be reported with the test results. The method for determining elongation of
material under 0.063 in. (1.6 mm) in diameter or thickness may be negotiated.
Alternatively, a gauge length corresponding to ISO 6892 may be used when
agreed upon between supplier and purchaser. (5.65 times the square root of So,
where So is the original cross sectional area.)
C
Reduction of area not required for tubing.
